This episode we speak with Robin Powers about the struggles her family went through when her daughter was addicted to Heroin. It's difficult as members of public safety, to remember that people who suffer from drug addiction are human. They have families, they have people who care about them. Yes, initially drug addiction is a choice, but it gets to a point where it's no longer a choice, it's now a way to survive.

Unfortunately, my co-host/side-kick had to work this week. So this one is back to the basics while interviewing Brandon! Brandon comes from a family in public safety, and his mom as a mental health expert. We discussed and shared stories from my time working in the prison, and how being a correctional officer has affected him. Brandon also discusses life as a volunteer firefighter, and shares stories of what he remembers when his dad would leave for calls growing up.

Jason White is a homicide detective with Tulsa Police Department in Tulsa OK. Honestly, this episode was a lot of fun. I've spent may evenings watching The First 48 and remember seeing Jason in many of those shows. I don't want to give too much away, just know, you HAVE to listen/watch this episode!
